Chapter 585 507: Divine Gift for All
"Isn't this a clear case of favoritism?" Xu Xiaoyou looked at the two well-dressed girls.
Angelina's eyes were touched with a light red shadow at the corners, with three crimson marks adorning the right cheek, and half a blood moon inked on the left.
Bai Youyou's makeup leaned towards reality, differing from the others' flamboyance; aside from giving her gaze a more resolute look, there weren't many changes, the only noticeable feature was a divine scale floating behind her head, shifting with the golden sand flowing in the air.
Above their heads appeared the enhancement effects 'Creation Drawing Impression' and 'Creation of Truth', which granted Angelina a greater attribute boost under the Moon Madness state, and added 10% real damage to Bai Youyou's basic attacks.
Tang Xin smiled without speaking.
"Next bout in the bounty tournament. Light Chasing Garden VS Heterogeneous Front | Abyssal White Flower vs. Florence!"
Came the announcer's fervent voice from outside.
"You're up." Bai Youyou said.
"Just itching for a fight." Angelina stretched her muscles and glanced back at several girls.
"Wanna bet? I'll break that vase in three minutes."
"Still, Florence is a Fourth Tier Asura, don't underestimate him." Xu Xiaoyou casually remarked.
The crowd's cheers filled the arena as a dashing man with extravagant looks made his entrance onto the stage, dressed in a flamboyant pink smoking jacket with an ostentatious fur collar, his handsome appearance accompanied by erupting flames, immediately ignited the entire venue's atmosphere, drawing countless screams and shouts.
The previous cold atmosphere vanished entirely.
"Where are the cheers!" The man raised both hands above his head, looking around.
"Florence! Florence! Florence!"
The people responded with a roar.
Angelina's face showed undisguised disdain as she leaped onto the stage, flipping the lance in her palm.
"Beautiful lady, blades have no eyes, don't blame me for being ruthless later."
Seeing Angelina on stage, Florence stood proudly. He had already investigated the current strength of the Light Chasing Garden team in advance. Due to resource tilting within the team, the commander, enhancer, and support positions were all at the Fourth Tier, the guerrilla position was a substitute, the main attacker had been at the Three Tier since the end of the last bounty tournament.
The evaluations of him outside were mixed; aggressive analysts said he was nothing but a pretty facade once removed from the traditional four-protect-one tactic. He personally didn't think so; when hadn't the glorious era of the Heterogeneous Front been created by his own hands?
It was widely said that without the Heterogeneous Front, he, Florence, would still be Florence, and that the Heterogeneous Front was but a somewhat prestigious institution bound to decline soon.
He intended to continue leading the Heterogeneous Front to create brilliance, beginning to shatter the doubts starting with Abyssal White Flower.
Didn't people doubt his survival without four-protect-one? Well, he'd prove to everyone in this fight!
Florence wished even more people doubted him so he could slap them back in the face!
He looked disdainfully at Angelina standing with arms crossed, as if he was looking at a living target full of flaws. At the sound of the match's start, he could take down his opponent in nine different ways within the first moment.
A mere mortal without Divine Gift, why would they contend with him?
The audience cheered loudly, and many analysts wore expressions of relish. For the past half-year, Light Chasing Garden had maintained an undefeated record in various tournaments, and now facing the equally grand guild Heterogeneous Front, in this one-on-one battle mode.
Many who anticipated Light Chasing Garden's downfall had eagerly awaited this day, gleefully curious about how Xu Xiaoyou would handle the situation.
No matter how many tricks Dark Gold Rose had, in this absolutely fair arena battle, it couldn't showcase them, right?
Countless people made heavy bets on Heterogeneous Front, eager to witness the once-glorious Light Chasing Garden being pulled from its pedestal.
With a command from the host, under the eager gazes of all, the battle officially commenced.
Florence decisively activated 'Immovable Bright King Armor', 'Dark Nightmare Insight', and 'Divine Light Fluctuating Sword' among other enhancements, shouted loudly, and swung his sword fiercely towards Angelina!
In less than a blink of an eye, a hundred meters wide Earth-Splitting Wave slashed towards Angelina, several fluctuating light sabers burst from within, rushing straight for the girl's face!
There was a harsh satisfaction in Florence's eyes; this was his usual tactic, utilizing the fluctuating amplification effect of 'Divine Light Fluctuating Sword'. Now using the super killing technique Earth Shattering, in this arena with a radius of less than a hundred meters, often enemies don't even have the chance to react before the Earth-Splitting Wave crashes in front of them!
Even if the opponent had time to react and dodge, the initial advantage would fall into his hands, and it would only take a few additional Wave Splitting Slashes, plus an Upward Slash followed by a Phantom Sword Dance, to claim victory!
The fantasy was ideal, reality was harsh.
Just when Florence was already thinking of how to make his victory speech, Angelina's fingers released from her crossed arms, she moved.
The next moment, Ash Burning's crow feathers covered her whole body, the gale howled fiercely, the pitch-black coat fluttered, under countless burning wings, murderous red pupils opened!
"'Crow Slaying Ash Armor'." she murmured.
"This is..." Florence's eyes widened.
This was the opponent's Divine Gift!
This couldn't be, the intelligence was wrong. Wasn't Abyssal White Flower still not at the Fourth Tier?
The onlookers were also taken aback, shocked expressions froze on their faces.
"Wait, am I seeing this right, Angelina has released her Divine Gift!" The host exclaimed.
If it's like this, does it mean Light Chasing Garden as a whole has already broken through to the Fourth Tier?
Before the audience could think much further, the familiar feeling of power made Angelina's lips curl into a wild arc, fueling not only the burning crow feathers but also her long-suppressed heart, craving for intense battle and blood. With a slight leap of her step, she instantly vanished from her original spot.
In another blink, Angelina reappeared on the other side of the arena, dashing towards Florence.
Seeing Angelina charging in with intense momentum, Florence's original rhythm was disrupted, he frantically tried using 'Divine Steel Sky-breaking Strike' to counter. It had always been like this, Divine Steel Sky-breaking Strike could cut through space, with a very high priority. As long as he used it, he could interrupt the opponent's attack head-on...
An intense pain instantly assailed Florence's brain, his spine shivered. He widened his eyes, incredulous, seeing the Sky-breaking Light Saber, not yet executed, already shattered in the air.
Angelina broke his Divine Steel Sky-breaking Strike with just a knee kick?
This couldn't be, the opponent had clearly just reached the Fourth Tier, how could her Power attribute be so high!
The fragmented thoughts made Florence completely forget that he should immediately activate his Divine Gift for a counterattack.
Thus, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded, as Angelina casually delivered a knee kick, launching Florence like a cannonball upwards, gales howling.
Subsequently, Angelina vaulted into the air with swift steps, landing a heavy blow with her lance grip, forcibly sending Florence crashing to the ground once again, vanishing instantly mid-air at intense speed to intercept, catching the man's head before he hit the ground, slamming it violently down.
Boom—
The ground fractured significantly, web-like cracks spreading across the entire arena!
